Wow - I am finding it hard to believe the amount of rain we are having - the poor dogs are having to do quick runs around the block when ever it stops for a short time as Drew just doesn't do rain. Still there is always an upside so I get to cosy indoors with my knitting, put my comfy squizhy joggers on and some lovely vanilla scented candles - bliss.
I have finished my teardrop scarf - but unfortunately it isnt as big as I would have liked - and I have now started the first scarf with border out of Victorian Lace Today. Its the first time I have had a go at charts - the lace chart itself is easy to read and I have had no probs with it but finding out the construction of the pattern has been a bit tricky and it isnt really explained anywhere but as usual the girls on Angelyarns forums have been stars and helped me out. Anyway am off to meet my mom to take her to Ikea!!!
Oh and I hope you haven't forgotten where I am off to tomorrow..... its the Poker Final !!!

Vanilla candles sound lovely. Whenever I try scented candles Mr Earplugs (hubby) has a sneezing fit. I really fancy trying a lace pattern on my next socks - though I haven't yet finished my first ever sock so perhaps I'd best not get ideas above my station - lol!
Lace is not really difficult - the techniques in themselves are relatively easy - however making sure you don't miss any of the pattern is the biggest mare - and if using something like rowan kidsilk is awful to rip back if you have made a mistake!!
